HI Kream314,

not sure if they will let you exchange it, but if i were you, I would sell the xbox 360 on eBay. My 6 months old xbox 360 was faulty and I still managed to sell it for $350 (Australian dollars).

Hey, I don't know the specifics, but after my buddy had the red ring of death, and then his elite went bad also, he returned it and paid the difference and got a PS3. (Which he loves by the way.)
They shouldn't give you any trouble but call and explain your situation first. Most of the time they'll be pretty cool about it and can help you out.

newcloud, first I completely agree with you that there are a lot of people who sell crap and falsely advertise. But don't include me with these people until you know the facts! I sold my xbox as "faulty xbox 360 console." I was completely honest when I advertised it and still got a good price for it despite the fact that they knew it was faulty. SO I AM NOT ASHAMED OF WHAT I HAVE DONE BECAUSE I TOLD THEM THAT THE XBOX CONSOLE WAS BROKEN. And there are plenty of people who are selling their "faulty xbox" on eBay, because there are people out there who are willing to put in the effort to fix it, but this is not me! This is why I sold the xbox and bought a PS3.

So please next time, know the facts and choose your words carefully before you make judgement (at least ask me how I sold it). Plus from what kream314 said, it seems that his console is still ok, which means he should be able to sell it for more than what I sold mine. So all i was offering was an alternative to swapping it.

tyler123, my understanding is that the 3 rings of death can be due to a design fault in the xbox that is caused by overheating of the system (do a search and I am sure you will find plenty of info). Mine did not get it but I knew it probably would (as games were freezing, and the console was restarting). Thus I sold it, now have a ps3, and am a lot happier...

I know what you mean about seeing the light... although I kind of miss playing dead rising and gears of war. But the consistency and relative quietness of the PS3 has definitely won me over...

You won't go wrong with a PS3. I speak from personal experience, they make way less noise. I can barely fall asleep with the Xbox 360 on anywhere near me.
